Luna

Luna, often referred to as the Moon, is the only natural satellite of Earth. Humans began settling on Luna in 2080. Due to its still barren face, one can assume it has not been terraformed, probably a result of Luna's low gravity and lack of atmosphere. Instead, the habitats on Luna are sealed from vacuum and interconnected by tubes.

By 2492, the governing body of Luna was known as Luna Confederated States, the State of Mare Nubium being one of the said states. The Luna OCS Academy, also known as the Academy at Mare Nubium, was located here.

In 2579, Luna was the site of a planned raid by the NEO-COVENANT in search of a Forerunner artifact planted deep within the surface. This artifact was never known of until the attack, leading many to believe that the NEO-COVENANT found out this information from another found Forerunner site. The relatively small NEO-COVENANT strike force composed of one Stealth Corvette, three Corvettes, one Destroyer, and one Battlecruiser. The UNSC reactionary force composed of four Frigates, one Marathon Class Cruiser, one Destroyer, and a Heavy Frigate. The resulting space conflict ended with the NEO-COVENANT fleeing with their Stealth Corvette and a damaged Battlecruiser. All of the other NEO-COVENANT ships were lost. The UNSC lost a Heavy Frigate and had three badly damaged Frigates. The Destroyer and Marathon Class Cruiser had minor damage.

The land battle took place within Enimassi City and some of the surrounding area. There were heavy UNSC casualties and the NEO-COVENANT strike force captured the Forerunner artifact. The Special Operations Major who recovered the artifact was Rhen 'Erivumai and the Zealot Field Master who coordinated the attack was Torl 'Zezamee. Several Spartans were dropped on site to defend the city, resulting in the capture of Spartan E-256 Casus. A five man Spartan team infiltrated enemy defenses and managed to rescue Rush. The Spartan team included: G-192 Kyyneltya, T-143 Grayson, D-201 Markus, E-321 Darrin, D-157 Malak and an ODST Corporal by the name of Tristan Abdi. They escaped the city before its destruction at the hands of the NEO-COVENANT.
